It is the policy of CSU that employees maintain a
working environment that encourages mutual respect,
promotes civil and congenial relationships among
employees and is free from all forms of harassment and
violence.

Objective

This policy identifies CSU responsibility and the
employee responsibility as it relates to conduct and
working environment.

Procedures

Employees are expected to conduct themselves in an
appropriate manner as judged by a reasonable person.
Employees have the right to conduct their work without
disorderly or undue interference from other employees.
CSU prohibits employees from violating this right of
their co-workers.

CSU encourages a congenial work environment of
respect and professionalism. Therefore, CSU prohibits
employees from intentionally harming or threatening to
harm other employees, clients, vendors, visitors or
property belonging to any of these parties. This
prohibition includes but is not limited to intentional
acts such as:

Physically harming others

Verbally abusing others

Using intimidation tactics and making threats

Sabotaging another's work

Stalking others

Making false statements about others with malice
that cause harm

Publicly disclosing another's private
information

Employees are responsible for maintaining their work
area in a neat and professional manner. Employees should
report to their supervisor any potential violation of
the stated policy.

Employees are responsible for assuring the security
of CSU confidential or proprietary material in their
possession and similarly maintaining the security of the
CSU provided equipment. Employees concerned for the
security of their
work area or equipment must inform their supervisor of
such concerns.

CSU may take disciplinary action against employees
whose conduct violates this or other CSU policies and
procedures. The supervisor should consult the department
manager and/or the Human Resources Manager on such
matters.
